Definitions

  • the invention relates to a novel signal flag for emergencies.
  • a signal flag for emergencies is known from German utility model 85 29 692, which is characterized in that the flagpole out there are mutually coupled parts which can be folded into the area of the handle part and the handle part forms a housing for receiving the folded flagpole and the flag cloth attached to it.
  • German utility model 85 29 692 which is characterized in that the flagpole out there are mutually coupled parts which can be folded into the area of the handle part and the handle part forms a housing for receiving the folded flagpole and the flag cloth attached to it.
  • the device described in this utility model however, has the disadvantage that the signal flag is often difficult to recognize in spite of striking coloring of the flag cloth in the event of a sea emergency, for example if the accidents occur in the fog or during rain gusts.
  • the device is still relatively large, so that it is not carried by surfers, for example, because they feel impaired by the size and weight of the device during sports.
  • it has been found that such devices are of little help in emergency situations on land and here especially in road traffic, since they have to be held by one person, since the helper usually has to have his hands free in emergency situations and is not impaired by a signal flag can be.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of changing a signal flag of the type described in such a way that the disadvantages described are avoided.
  • the signal flag according to the invention consists of a collapsible and in particular telescopic flagpole with an adjoining handle part, the flagpole being collapsible or telescopic in the handle part and the handle part thus serving as a housing for receiving the flagpole with the flag cloth attached to it.
  • the flag cloth is made of a light, resistant and seawater-resistant material with high reflectivity; preferably a textile material such as a polyamide fabric is used, which is impregnated with highly reflective colors such as so-called neon colors. The colors orange, red or pink are preferably used as warning and shock colors.
  • the flag cloth can be marked with a clearly recognizable indication of an emergency, for example with the letters SOS.
  • the foot of the handle part of the signal flag has devices for attaching the signal flag and / or for receiving additional information for emergencies.
  • the signal flag can be raised not only when stopping, but also when driving slowly, in order to warn following or oncoming vehicles of an unusual situation in good time.
  • the foot of the grip part can preferably also be provided with an adapter for, for example, firing devices for light cartridges when used in emergencies, such as are increasingly observed when surfing.
  • the handle part which serves as a housing when folded, is closed with a cap to which the flag cloth and the upper end of the flagpole are attached.
  • the closure between the cap and the grip part is designed as a bayonet lock, since it has been found that it must also be possible to deploy the signal flag without using the hands, for example in the event of an emergency, for example only by rotating the cap with the teeth.
  • the cap itself preferably also consists of highly reflective material or is provided with such a material on the inside or outside, since this offers an additional possibility of drawing the attention of the helpers to itself.
  • the flag cloth can also be provided with strips of such reflective material in order to increase the visibility from different angles of incidence.
  • the handle part of the signal flag according to the invention is conically tapered downwards and the telescopic flag pole is fastened eccentrically from the center of the foot of the handle part, since it has been found that the stowage of the flag pole and the flag cloth in an annular space between the flag pole and the inner wall of the handle part corresponds to that devices described above is technically difficult and complex. It is therefore much easier if the telescopic rack is attached eccentrically from the center in the foot part, because then there is more space for storing the flag cloth. A conical taper towards the end of the foot has also proven to be useful, as this allows additional space to be kept for storing the flag cloth. In order to prevent the eccentrically attached flagpole from following the rotational movement of the cap when the cap is removed from the grip part, the flagpole is attached to the cap via a rotatable intermediate part.
  • the signal flag according to the invention is preferably predominantly made of plastic, since this allows considerable weight savings to be achieved.
  • the device can be dimensioned so that a flag cloth with the dimensions of about 70-80 ⁇ 50-60 cm can be accommodated in an approximately 20 cm long housing with a diameter of approximately 4-5 cm. It is therefore particularly suitable to be carried as a personal signaling and rescue means both on the road and at sea.
  • the signal flag according to the invention consists of the flag cloth 1, which is attached to the telescopic flagpole 2, the latter in turn finding its attachment in the foot 4 of the handle part 3.
  • the flagpole 2 is fastened in the foot 4 of the handle part 3 eccentrically from the center in order to provide a larger stowage possibility for the flag cloth when pushed together.
  • the flag cloth 1 is fastened to the cap 5 both in the pushed together and in the unfolded state at the upper end, which also takes over the fastening (not visible) of the telescopic rod by means of a rotatable intermediate part in the upper part of the cap.
  • the grip part which tapers conically downwards is provided with a foot which can be designed differently depending on the intended use.
  • the flagpole 2 is fastened in the grip part 3 to the base plate 4, which can optionally be equipped with an adapter 7 for attaching a further signal device 6.
  • the further signal device 6 can be, for example, a firing device for light cartridges.
  • FIG. 3 in which the flagpole 2 in the handle part 3 is likewise fastened to the base plate 4, is particularly suitable when the signal flag according to the invention is used on the street.
  • This base plate 4 has a slot 8, the inside width of which corresponds to the thickness of the usual window glass for motor vehicles. With the aid of this slot, the signal flag can therefore be fastened in a window of a vehicle.
